The video is a clipping of a Keller Center Panel Discussion on technology commercialization of university scientific and engineering inventions which was held on February 16, 2010 (5:30 p.m.) at the Friend Center Auditorium (Room 101) of Princeton University. The event was moderated by Professor Ed Zschau, who has been a former entrepreneur and a venture capital investor, as well as a two-term U.S. Congressman, who currently teaches the popular course, “High-Tech Entrepreneurship” at Princeton University [1]. The video was uploaded by princetonacademics on March 25, 2010 at http://www.youtube.com [2]. The Keller Center is a new academic center within the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton. It was created in February 2005 with the purpose of setting a new standard for engineering education emphasizing interdisciplinary areas, societal context, and leadership [3]. The Panel Discussion is part of the Princeton-Jumpstart Lecture Series on technology entrepreneurship. Jumpstart New Jersey Angel Network is a private, member-led group that makes "angel" investments in early-stage technology companies in the Mid-Atlantic region. The law firm of Drinker, Biddle & Reath co-sponsored the event. [4].

Professor Zschau acknowledged the sponsors and introduced the distinguished panelists as follows:

* Vivek Pai, Ph.D is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Princeton University. He will provide insights from the perspective of a faculty member and a researcher.

* Laurie Tzodikov is with Princeton University's Office of Technology Licensing and Intellectual Property. Her roles include encouraging faculty members and researches to file for disclosure of inventions and market those inventions. She also acts as intermediary between the investors and the people who may use them.

* Thomas J. McWilliams is a partner in the law firm, Drinker, Biddle & Reath, and he will share the intellectual aspects of technology commercialization as well as the other legal matters that might be involved in the process.

* Katherine O'Neill is the Executive Director of Jumpstart New Jersey, an “angel” investment group. She will talk about technology commercialization in the eyes of the investors that supply the capital essential to the process.

* Shahram Hejazi, Ph.D is a venture partner at BioAdvance which provides funding to start-up life sciences companies.

Professor Zschau further explained the mechanics or format of the panel. Each of the five (5) panellists will present their ideas including their advice and guidance on technology commercialization process. They were given 5-7 minutes for their presentations.

Highlights of Insights from the Panelists 1. Dr. Vivek Pai shared his perspective from a graduate student and professor who had been involved in start-up. He cited the commercialization of his technology, CoBlitz, and talked about the "pretty nice pathway" which the university provides to commercialize technology. According to him, he has excellent colleagues in the university who are willing to help in start-ups. He emphasized the importance of correct timing and having a business plan. As he put it, “timing is everything. If you do not get the timing right, it may or may not happen.” Dr. Pai also mentioned about publication which slows down the process and that most of the start-ups are unfunded so “be ready to consume all your spare...

...﻿ The video was particularly about the field of finance that includes opportunities we can grab after few years of education and training about financial management and the reality behind it when working in the finance industry. Also, it talks about Financial Markets, discussing what these are, how it works, those different types of investment vehicles that may fit to our interests as a future investors, and giving us idea what strategy can we apply in order to maximize returns while minimizing risks. It also discusses points how important financial markets are in our economy as a whole. And the last topic was all about bonds which tackle its importance and impact to the economy, its effect to interest rates or what is their relationship, and those different investment vehicles under the term of bonds. Aside from that, it even benchmarks bonds against stocks. But more, it also discussed many other terms that were on the boundary of financial world.
Witnessing my feet still on the ground of learning especially only for those theoretical ideas about finance, this video helped me a lot. Reading books for me is quiet boring and honestly I only read them when necessary. I’m glad that the teacher brought an idea of letting us see some video clips about the topic because somehow it diminished those boredom activities I always had like reading books. Anyways, these were the learning I had harvested out of the video –

...Dr. Stephen Kucera - Chapter 1 Summary/Reaction
In the introduction the author discusses his feelings about the importance of scientific literacy for
our civilization. Currently, a swift and far reaching biocide is in progress and there may be
ramifications for our civilization if we do not begin to address these issues soon. I agree with
the author because I feel that our society has become so insulated from the effects of nature on
our lives that we have lost a great deal of respect for it.
Think about it. We live and work in our air conditioned buildings, buy our food at a grocery
store, drive around in automobiles which emit carbon dioxide and pollutants. We are shielded
from the whims of Nature and their potential effects on our ability to survive in this world.
Sound radical? I'm not what you would consider an environmental radical, or someone who
feels that "dooms day" is right around the corner. I do all of the aforementioned things and I'm
not arguing that these and other lifestyles should be abolished. The questions I would like to
see our society address is: What impact does our lifestyle have and how can it be minimized?
As you can see, these questions can become political. It's not that the questions that are posed
by science are political in and of themselves. Rather, it is the answers we seek to find that
could potentially impact our lives when they are used to establish policy.

REFLECTIONS ON STRATEGIC PLANNING OF PANELCO III
Introduction
Strategy is the most important and highest risk activity of an organization's leadership. Whether small or large, very few organizations and leaders understand what it takes to create an effective and useful strategic plan. Terminology is often confusing, plan documents gather dust, and planning processes get bogged down without effective implementation. Too often, the result of an investment in strategic planning is an organizational cynicism and resulting detachment between the strategic plan and the day-to-day realities of the organization. (Ron Price, 2006)
Strategy represents the direction for an organization and it usually includes one or more big picture destinations that are desired by the leadership. Tactics are the day-to-day operational
"ways and means" an organization employs to achieve the big picture objectives. These terms are often used synonymously and it represents one of the major problems in many planning initiatives. Managers cannot effectively think strategically and tactically at the same time....

CASE NO. 2
You work as an intern in the Information Technology department for the Bituin Journal, a local newspaper. The newspaper’s board of directors recently approved a budget for redesigning the interior of its century- old building as part of an inner city rehabilitation project. Your manager has been asked to recommend the type of transmission media (hardware or wireless) to use for the newspaper’s local area network. He asked you to submit a feature/benefit report that summarizes the advantages of hardwiring the building versus using the wireless transmission media. Which transmission media do you think is the most secure? Do the walls in the building present a problem for a wireless network? Does a wireless network present any health hazards? Prepare a complete report on this to be submitted to your instructor/professor.
ANSWER:
I think fiber Optic cable is the most secure transmission media because it is a technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. And contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment...

...LOVE. But first let us define the word love. What is love? For the philosophers, love generate a host of tissues: means it is word unattached to anything real or sensible, that is all. But for me, it is a feeling that every individual has. A feeling that means a lot to us. Individuals has their own and different definition of it, but whatever definition we have, it’s the most important thing we have to show to those people we love and who love us whole heartedly and also to our every action that we or we are going execute, love should always be there. Love is all that matters.
This is the 3rd reflection paper that our professor gave us. At first, I was that stressed to do this things like this especially each requirement must contain at least 3 pages. I was so confused because I am not used to do things like this. But later on, I was able to LOVE this, doing reflection papers (but I wish this would be the last. Hehehe). And so I decided to choose LOVE that best describes philosophy as a whole. Why? Because loving everything you do will make you happy. Happiness is all what we want, happiness that we feel because of love.
I often see people using love in arguments of morality. So I ask those people to thoroughly and completely define their intended meaning of it to the best of their ability so that I may better understand their arguments. Also, it would be interesting , in general, to see how people view love and its meaning. Someone says...

...﻿While watching the movie, I have observed similarities and differences of some scenes from today’s youth. Let’s start discussing about the similarities. First thing I have observed is the harsh treatment given by the colonials to our fellowmen especially to women and children. They, if not physically, were verbally abused by the Spaniards. I compared it to what’s happening in our society today and quite noticed a similarity. It is similar in a way that women and children, even the men too, are still abused by foreign people and sometimes even our own people. They also treat them as slaves. Child labor – forcing minors to work – has been a big issue. Women slavery – treating women as slaves, sex slaves to be exact – has been an issue too. Nowadays, our people are still abused and these are oftentimes done by those who have the power like politicians and other well-illustrated persons. They think that with their wealth and position they have the right to hurt our fellowmen. Even a small mistake or a suspicion causes the people who have the power to physically abuse our fellowmen because for them that’s how they should be treated after what they have done. Next thing I have observed is the racial discrimination. As we have discussed in class, it is one of the evils during Rizal’s time. Filipinos who were flat-nosed and brown-skinned were labeled as “Indios” and the Spaniards being pale-complexioned were termed as “Bangus” or milkfish in English. The Filipinos who were called...

...﻿ReactionPaper – Yahoo! C.E.O. Resigns Over Padded Resume
On the 13th of May, 2012, the Yahoo! C.E.O, Scott Thompson decided to part ways with the company. His reason for resignation: he had had surgery for thyroid cancer several weeks earlier and was on medication which in turn could affect his performance as C.E.O. However, this event was the culmination of a tumultuous period at Yahoo! And if I were a decision maker in this case, aware of the recently opened can of worms, I would have definitely asked Thompson to resign.
On the 3rd of May, 2012, Daniel Loeb, Yahoo’s largest external shareholder, who then controlled 5.8% of the company through his hedge fund – Third Point, launched an attack on Yahoo! and its new C.E.O., alleging that Scott Thompson had lied on his resume about his academic qualifications. This was a result of a proxy war between Yahoo! and Loeb, who being a major stakeholder, wanted his choice of candidates on the board and saw Thompson as an obstacle. These allegations snowballed into a huge crisis during a trying period for the organisation. After rejecting a profitable takeover bid from Microsoft, steep competition from other internet giants and top level management issues, this situation weakened the company further.
Thompson, in his resume, claimed to have a college degree in accounting and computer science from Stonehill College near Boston. This “claim” was published on the company’s bio and annual report, a legal...

ReactionPaper on “Cleopatra”
I was disappointed. I arrived few minutes late than the actual time the theater play was supposed to happen only to find out that there are no available seats and even my friends, who arrived on time and few minutes earlier has no seats, not even one of us. It was literally crowded, and when I say crowded, it means that even the stairs was occupied by people who are probably tired of looking for the nowhere-to-be-found-seats and found a little bit of satisfaction by letting themselves to at least sit on the stairs as they tried to elongate their neck to see what is already happening on the stage.
I should say that people who fear dark and crowded area should never try going there, it was literally dark and people are bumping into each other. Imagine how stressed my friends and the rest of the lucky ones, please note the sarcasm, who was expecting a stress-free Saturday afternoon by means of watching a play and sitting on a comfortable cinema seats while eating something inside the air conditioned cinema. For whoever sake it is, we pay Php 250.00 for something that is not even worth a hundred pesos? This is just too much. My emotions are building up and I feel like a volcano that is going to explode anytime soon.
The first question that came into my mind was, “WHY WOULD THEY SELL TICKETS BEYOND THE CAPACITY OF THE CINEMA?” I think that the capacity of the...
